Tell us about yourself!
My name is Kiarra, but I go by KiKi. I have an 8-year-old daughter who runs my life, and she knows it! I love sports, and actually played basketball from 6 years old through college. I come from a big sports family, everyone played something. In 2020, I established an LLC turned nonprofit. I love to travel and explore new places, restaurants, and countries – just a woman who loves adventure!
What made you want to become a Parent Ambassador?
I saw Parent Training and Information (PTI) Nebraska shared information about Parent Ambassadors on their social media page. I wanted to join because I saw it as an opportunity to connect with other parents in communities that may differ from mine. I am hoping to collaborate and bring forth positive change.
What do you see as the greatest need for your community?
I think one of the greatest needs for the community is access, rather than services or resources; adequate enough for sustainability and for community individuals/families to thrive.
What do you hope to accomplish during your Ambassadorship?
I hope to be a part of the bigger picture and serve as a favorable resource to communities.
Who or what inspires you?
My daughter definitely inspires me to do better and be better every day. I know as a fact, that I wouldn’t have the courage and drive that I do if I wasn’t blessed with her as my daughter.
Anything else you would like to add?
I’m very grateful to be a part of this program and I’m hoping to establish fruitful connections and relationships surpassing the length of the program.
